CLUBS &
SOCIETIES
Clubs and societies are groups of students who are interested in talking about or taking action on a particular issue. They are groups that are formed outside of classes and open to all members of the STU community, with some clubs welcoming students from UNB and the greater Fredericton area.

One of the most important aspects to remember is in order for a club or society to receive funding from the STUSU, they need to be ratified. In order to gain ratified status, they must go through the ratification process by submitting all two (2) documents to the Vice President Administration at su_vpadmin@stu.ca:
1. Club & Societies Ratification Application
2. Club/ Society Constitution, which shall be consistent with the Clubs & Societies Policy
(*) Please review the Clubs & Societies Policy for general guidelines and policy updates!

Pre-Law Society
The purpose of the Pre-Law Society is to provide students with an interest in pursuing a career in law and/or an interest in attending law school with information, support, and activities pertaining to these interests.
This will include information on matters such as Canadian law schools, law school admissions tests (LSATs), admissions requirements, and alternate career paths pertaining to the Canadian legal system. Activities will include movie nights, guest speakers, debates, and practice LSATs.
Our goal is to ease the transition from an undergraduate study program to a law school study program, as well as increase the likelihood of this transition occurring in the first place. We will do so by reaching out to professionals, administrative persons, etc., in positions pertaining to the field of Law to provide members with the necessary information and experiences to attain this goal.
